How to Make Never Buy Store Bought Angel Food Cake Again Angel Food Cake

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 10-inch tube pan. Make sure to grease the sides well and dust with flour, tapping out any excess.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together cake flour, 1 cup of granulated sugar, and salt.
  3. In a separate, clean bowl, beat egg whites with an electric mixer until soft peaks form. Gradually add the cream of tartar and beat until stiff, glossy peaks form.
  4. Gradually add the remaining 1/2 cup granulated sugar to the egg whites, one tablespoon at a time, beating well after each addition. Beat until the meringue is very stiff and glossy.
  5. Gently fold the dry ingredients into the meringue in thirds, being careful not to deflate the egg whites. Fold in vanilla extract.
  6. Pour batter into the prepared pan and bake for 50-55 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  7. Immediately invert the pan onto a wire rack and let the cake cool completely, upside down, for at least 3-4 hours or preferably overnight.
  8. Once cooled, run a thin knife or spatula around the edges of the cake to loosen it from the pan.
  9. Dust with powdered sugar (optional) before serving.
  10. Enjoy your homemade angel food cake! Store leftover cake in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
